New Director Needed at Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home

DIXON, Ill.  - The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home in northern Illinois is looking for a new director.

     The previous director resigned last month to take a new job. 

     The 125-year-old house in Dixon was home to the Reagan family for about three years starting when the future president was a couple months shy of his 10th birthday.

     The  Ronald Reagan Home Preservation Foundation board began advertising the director's job this week and has about a half dozen applicants.

     Interim board President John Thompson says the home "gives the community a sense of pride and tells the story of a small town that can produce someone who became president of the United States."
